When a number from the United Arab Emirates makes sense for Bumble

Apps tend to tie your account to the country of your phone number. If you live in the United Arab Emirates, are moving there or spend time there, a number from the United Arab Emirates (+971) keeps the sign-up consistent with where you'll use Bumble.

It is also the simple fix when your own number is already linked to an old Bumble account, or when you'd rather not hand your personal number to another app.

What Bumble verification usually asks for

• Code format: a numeric SMS code; Bumble may also offer a call instead — choose SMS.
• Bumble allows one account per phone number.
• Pick a country that matches where you'll use the app.
